But, the Aggies weren’t in the mood to mess around in the second half. After trading bas kets with Lamar in the opening minutes, A&M used another 11- 0 run to take control of the game 70-52. Branch said beating Lamar’s full-court press was the key to A&M’s second half uprising. “They were giving us a hard time with their press,” Branch said. “To beat it, we used a side line break and that seemed to work for us. We didn’t even have to run an offense after that.” After going up 87-67 with 6:45 left in the game, you could have called the A&M offense the Angel Spinks Show. The senior center led the way down the stretch, scoring 16 of her career- high 29 points as the Aggies thrilled the crowd with their record scoring performance. Spinks said A&M’s aggres sive attack in the second half opened things up for her. “It was just transition of- f e n s e , ” ■■■■■■■■■■■■I S p while Marianne Sevin con tributed 14 points and 10 re bounds.

That makes it easier to post-up against someone who’s smaller and you don’t have to run an offense.” A&M broke the century mark with 3:45 remaining and never looked back. When all was said and done, the Aggies had outscored Lamar 62-42 in the second half. Branch and Tucker finished with 16 points each drawing a larger home crowd than Duke in Wednesday' 1 first-round match-ups. “It’s a great opportunity for us,” Harvey said. “Duke is a quality team that is ranked anywhere from 15 to 20 in the preseason polls. “They have an opportunity to come here to G.

NEW YORK (AP) — The jury deciding whether boxing pro moter Don King committed in surance fraud reheard testimo ny Wednesday in which an ac countant accused his former boss of directing him to make up a business expense. The reading of that testimo ny and some from other wit nesses in the six-week trial kept the jury busy for a third day without a verdict as it con sidered nine wire fraud charges against the flamboyant promot er who controls some of box ing’s biggest names. The testimony from Joseph Maffia bolstered the prosecu tion’s argument that King in structed others to tell Lloyd’s of London he had paid $350,000 in training expenses to Julio Cesar Chavez for a 1991 bout that was cancelled. Prosecutors allege King put language into a fake contract to make it appear that he had paid $350,000 in training ex penses to Chavez for a fight with Harold Brazier. The cancellation of the fight would then qualify King for the expenses he had paid to boxers as long as the expenses could not be recovered by the promot er. In fact, Chavez testified, he was never $350,000 claim and had notdis cussed it in depth with Maffia. He conceded the $350,000 was St ler wh paid $350,000 for expenses and was nev er told King recovered that amount of money with an insurance policy. That testimony also was read back to the jury Wednes day. So far, the asked to have any of King’s tes timony read back. During three days on the witness stand.

Wa Burleson must forfeit seven games can wee □ Burleson will miss the playoffs because of an ineligible player. AUSTIN (AP) — The Univer sity Interscholastic League State Executive Committee ruled Wednesday that Burleson must forfeit its seven victories and miss the Class 5A Division II playoffs because of an ineligible player. Attorneys for Burleson said they would seek a court injunc tion to block the committee’s 2-1 ruling and allow the school to compete in the playoffs. The District 6-5A Executive Committee ruled Monday that defensive end Daniel Reese was n’t a resident of Burleson. “We didn’t do anything ille gal,” coach Mark Saunders said. “It was interpreted however it was interpreted, and so be it.” Saunders filed the appeal with the UIL. If Burleson (7-3) is denied entry into the playoffs, Hurst Bell (4-6) will replace it against undefeated Flower Mound Marcus, ranked No. 4. Reese’s parents own a house in Cleburne, where he used to attend school, and a mobile home in Burleson. Dana Skiles, Lakers beat hapless Mavericks Reese’s mother, says she and her {ty son live in Burleson and her Tm I husband and daughter live in Cleburne.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Cedric Ceballos had 31 points and 13 rebounds to help the Los Angeles Lakers remain unde feated at home with a 114-97 victory Wednesday night over the Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers, who played five of their first seven games on the road and lost their first four, controlled the game from the opening period in improving to 3-0 at home and 4-4 overall. The Mavericks entered the game atop the Midwest Divi sion, but dropped to third after Utah and Houston each won Wednesday to take over the top two spots. Jamal Mashburn led the Mavericks with 32 points, and nearly brought them all the way back from a 20-point halftime deficit with 15 points in a five- minute span of the third period. But Dallas never got closer than 88-78 on a basket by Mashburn iH DALLAS MAVERICKS with 10:14 remaining in the game. Los Angeles has won 15 of its last 17 meetings with the Mav ericks dating to the 1991-92 season, and Dallas hasn’t won at the Forum since Dec. 12, 1990. Anthony Peeler added 25 points and Elden Campbell 22 for the Lakers. Mashburn helped erase a 60 40 halftime deficit by scoring 15 points in the first five minutes of the third period. He capped the hot streak with a 3-pointer that drew the Mavericks to 67- 57 with 7:08 remaining. They got as close as 71-60 when Jason Kidd scored five straight points, Popeye Jones sank two free throws and Mash burn added a jumper. Then the replacement refer ees called Peeler for a flagrant foul against Kidd, who knocked into Peeler going up for a layin and landed hard on his side un der the basket.
